To get the single steps you need to turn the encoder slowly.

The encoders seem to have a resolution of 96. That is the default value
for .resoution
This is the greatest number of values per turn you can have without
loosing a midi value

$B0 12 23
$B0 12 24
$B0 12 25
$B0 12 26
$B0 12 27
etc

Any smaller you have to turn the encoder farther to get a new value, but
if you turn it slowly you will get each value.
The smaller the number the harder it is to skip a value even if you turn
it faster.

Larger numbers  (eg .resolution 120) and you start to skip values even
if you are turning slowly.
$B0 12 23
$B0 12 24
$B0 12 26
$B0 12 27
$B0 12 29
etc

.resolution 192   (2 x 96) will skip every second value if you turn it
slowly
$B0 12 23
$B0 12 25
$B0 12 27
$B0 12 29
$B0 12 31
etc

if you have .minmax 0 4 perhaps you would be better of with an
incrementing button

.button 1
.showvalue on
.easypar CC 01  12 4 0 increment 1   ;note that the min and max are
reversed for the increment

$B0 12 1
$B0 12 2
$B0 12 3
$B0 12 4
$B0 12 0
$B0 12 1
$B0 12 2
$B0 12 3
etc

if your range is greater than 96 then you will drop value or two .

If the range is 0 127 I like to set the values to something like

.resolution  32 64 96 300

The 300 means a quick flick to the 127 or the 0 value then slowly for
fine adjustments

Too low a value means you turn the thing and nothing happens for ages,
but perhaps this is what you want.

Just try a whole lot of values to see what you like.

By the way
.resolution 56
is the same as
.resolution 56 56 56 56

All the best
